GO FGCU Eagles. The school is 10 miles away and I've never been there. But any school who beats those G-town cocksuckers has my respect!

lol.. yeah, that West bracket. I think everyone's having fits with that. Besides Gonzaga being upset (I was atleast right on that) I had Kansas State upsetting Ohio State. I've only picked 4 matchups right in that bracket, with a possible 5th one with today's Iowa St/Ohio St game.

Go troja-Clones !!

I have Ohio St winning this game, but Iowa St winning will do far more damage to others than me.

ISU got screwed. Their player was already in the air before Craft ever established defensive position. That's a block, not a charge.

Not a chance. Craft easily had position. Don't force a bad call where it isn't needed because you want OSU to lose.

No he didn't. He slid underneath. That's a block. It's just too bad the game has been tarnished by that bullshit where players are coached to run underneath a player to draw a charge.

No, by the rules that is a charge. Plain and simple. It was the correct call and to call it a block would have been incorrect.

No, its not. You're wrong. You don't understand the rules and its not you're fault because for the last few years, the refs have gotten really bad at enforcing what a charge is. It's gotten so bad that teams actually coach players to fall down in a halfass way just to see if they can get a charge call. Duke does that shit all the time. For a true charge, the defensive player has to establish position and the offensive player invades that position in his shot motion. If the offensive player is already in his shot motion before a defensive player has established position, its a block.

Craft slides under after the ISU player is going up. He's a second or two late, but he's still late. It's a block.

He wasn't late. The announcers even said it. And after that bullshit call when both the ISU and OSU player were diving for the ball and the OSU player got called for the foul, nobody can complain about an iffy (but correct) call going Ohio State's way.

I've refed. They got it right. He can slide as the guys is in the air as long as when the contact is made he has position and he did.
